Amid reports that Barry Bonds could rejoin the San Francisco Giants in some capacity, team president Larry Baer admitted he has spoken to the all-time home run king about a possible role within the organization.

However, Baer stressed that nothing is imminent.

"He approached us about doing something in an official capacity in the organization," Baer told the San Francisco Chronicle. "We had a cordial conversation. Right now, there are no plans."

The newspaper speculates that Bonds is interested in a role as an instructor and also might help out during spring training. But it remains unclear if he would pursue a full-time role.

Bonds reportedly has a 10-year personal services clause in his contract that will pay his charity (Bonds Family Foundation) $100,000 annually. The seven-time NL MVP, eight-time Gold Glove winner and 14-time All-Star played 15 of his 22 major league seasons with the Giants, but the San Francisco Chronicle noted the team’s ownership will have the final call on his personal services clause because of “the magnitude of the hire and person.”

Bonds, 47, last played in the majors in 2007 with the Giants, hitting .276 with 28 homers, 66 RBIs and an NL-best .480 on-base percentage. During that final season, he passed Hank Aaron for the all-time home record, finishing with 762 for his career.

Since walking away from the game, however, Bonds has continued to be plagued by performance-enhancing drugs allegations and controversy. In December, he was sentenced to two years of probation, 250 hours of community service and 30 days of home confinement for misleading grand jurors in the BALCO trial.
